Saginaw, Michigan Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I w[C]as born in S[G]aginaw, M[C]ichigan.
I [Db]grew up [F#]in a h[C]ouse on Saginaw Ba[G]y.
My [Ab]dad w[G]as a p[C]oor,
hard -working Saginaw fish[F]erman
[F#]Too many times[Db] he came home
[Ab]with too little [C]pay[Db][C]
[Db]I lo[C]ved a girl in [G]Saginaw,
[Db]Michigan[C][Db]
[C]The [Db]daughter o[F#]f a wealt[C]hy,
[Db]wealthy man
[Ab]But [Ab]he ca[F]lled me[Db] tha[C]t son
of a [Db]Saginaw [F#]fisherman
And not good [Db]enough to [Ab]claim
his daughter's [C]hand[Db]
Now I'm [F#]up here in Alaska
just a -lookin' [Db]around for [C]gold
Like a [Db]crazy [Ab]fool I'm a [G]-diggin'
in this [C]frozen ground so [Db]cold[C]
But [Db]with [Gb]each new day [Db]I
[Gb]pray [F]I'll strike it rich
[Db]and then I'll go back home[Ab]
and claim my love
in Saginaw, [Ab]Michigan[Db]
I [C]wrote [Db]my love in Saginaw, Mi[Db]chigan
I said, [Gb]honey, I'm coming [Db]home,
please wait for [Ab]me
An[Ab]d you can tell your da[Db]d
that I'm coming [C]back [Db]a rich [Gb]man
I [F]found the biggest [Db]strike[C]
[Db]in C[Ab]ondite histo[Ab]ry[Db]
Her dad met me [Ab]in Saginaw,
[C]Michigan[Db]
He [Gb]gave me a great big [Db]party
with [Ebm]champagne
[Ab]Then he said, my [Db]son,
you're a wise, young,
ambi[Gb]tious man
Won't you [Db]sell [C]your father -in -law
[Ab]your Klond[C]ike clai[Db]m?
Now he's [Gb]up there in Alaska
just digging [Db]in the cold, cold g[C]round
[Db]The [Ab]greedy fool is looking for the gold
[Db]that I never [C]found
And [F]it [Gb]serves [F]him [Gb]right,
cause no one here is a -miss[Db]in' him
Least of [Ab]all the newlyweds
of Saginaw, [Db]Michigan
We're the [Ab]happiest man and wife
in Saginaw, [Db]Michigan

[Outro 1]
Easy shag
